So... That Flag Thing

[FishermanTim]

To add further fuel to the dumming-down of America, there are more and more restrictions on religion and religious figures on tv than ever before, but more and more freedom of vulgar-speak.

I "tried" to watch the first episode of a new show on TBS called "Clipped".

Opening scene is a "force-fed" scene with two gay men kissing goodbye as they start their days.

1) you don't know they're gay until they kiss.
2) One guy was "Norm" from CHEERS.

That was as far as I got. I am not a homophobe by any means, but when the so-called comedy is contrived and as stale as week old bread it has nothing to keep my attention.

Another show is "My family or Yours"
The guttural vulgarity they presume will be funny is also painful to watch.

I'm sorry, but I like clean funny stories and jokes without having to go to confession after each episode!

I agree there is no reason to pretend as if the confederate flag never existed. I do think it's a good idea to refrain from displaying it atop public state buildings.

To hear the left restate history, it was Eisenhower and William F Buckley who opposed the Civil Rights Act, instead of Al Gore Sr and Robert Byrd.

And now they want to do away with the film Gone with the Wind because it so prominently displays the Confederate flag...... We are getting exactly what the nation voted......twice. The dumbing of America.

I do believe U R wrong about Eisenhower opposing Civil Rights Act.....It was Eisenhower who pushed thru the 1957 civil rights act and the 1960 civilrights act.....and he established the civil rights commission and desegragated the military......it was LBJ who made the bill very weak stripped it of enforcement.....republicans supported the bill and exclusively denounced by democrats Every single segregationist in the Senate was a Democrat. Only one of them ever became a Republican: Strom Thurmond.
Lets not blame eisenhower....put the blame where it belongs and U R right about Buckley....

I was being sarcastic. Conservatives, like Ike, were generally in favor of equal rights. The segregationists, like Al gore sr and Robert Byrd, were Demi's. The demos are trying to rewrite history
